1
State the central method of Disks & Washers and list the conditions that must be checked.
Faculty solution: Use measuring radial cross-sections around an axis. State the relevant hypotheses, domain or interval, units when applicable, and a verification plan.
2
Rotate y=√x, 0≤x≤4, about the x-axis.
Faculty solution: V=π∫₀⁴x dx=8π.
3
Rotate the region between y=2 and y=x on [0,2] about x-axis.
Faculty solution: V=π∫₀²(4−x²)dx=16π/3.
4
A learner makes an error by using the wrong radius, height, or orientation in a geometric setup. Explain the first invalid step and repair the reasoning.
Faculty solution: The first invalid step is using the wrong radius, height, or orientation in a geometric setup. Return to the governing definition or theorem, restore the missing condition, and verify the corrected result.
5
Create a short application of Disks & Washers in design, manufacturing, architecture, material estimation, and geometric modelling. Define variables and identify the quantity an integral, differential equation, sequence, or series would measure.
Faculty solution: A defensible response defines variables and units, states assumptions, builds the correct mathematical object, and interprets its value in design, manufacturing, architecture, material estimation, and geometric modelling.
6
Describe two independent ways to verify a result from Disks & Washers.
Faculty solution: Use an exact structural check such as differentiation, substitution, partial sums, or theorem hypotheses; then compare with numerical, graphical, dimensional, or limiting evidence.
